Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows For 2011 and 2012, cash flows from operating activities are more than net income. The company is not growing through investment activities exhibited by an $11.4 billion loss in 2012 and a $2.5 billion loss in 2011 in cash flow from investment. Primary source of financing: long-term loans and debt issuances In 2011, there was an $8.5 billion beginning balance which increased by $4.2 billion. In 2012, there was a $12.8 billion beginning balance which decreased by $4.3 billion.
Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition: When there is proof that a transaction exists, delivery has been accomplished, the price is set, and collection is certain revenue is recognized. Cash Equivalents: Time deposits and investments that are very liquid and have maturities less than three months are considered cash equivalents. Short-Term Investments: Time deposits and investments that have maturities of more than three months but less than a year are short-term investments. Investments in Equity and Debt Securities: Coca-Cola uses the equity method to measure investment in equity securities in which they have majority share but uses the fair value or under the cost method for those that they do not have majority share. Debt securities are recorded at either amortized cost or fair value. Trade Accounts Receivable: Coca-Cola recognizes its accounts receivable at net realizable value. They include an allowance for uncollectible accounts to record loss on accounts receivable balances as well. Inventories: Inventories are held at lower of cost or market values. Inventory cost is made through average cost or first in, first out valuation (FIFO). Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded by their costs. Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over useful live of the asset.

Industry Situation & Company Plans In the past, the soft beverage industry has been largely dominated by brand loyalty. Classic beverages such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Fanta have remained their flagship brands for decades. In this realm, Coca-Cola has the advantage with a volume of 51% of the market share of the carbonated soft drink industry as of 2012. However, trends have been showing that consumers are drinking less sugary sodas and are consuming healthier alternatives. That is why Coca-Cola is pushing for a healthier drink portfolio of waters, ready-to-drink teas, coffees, and fruit beverages which are likely to see steady growth as soda sales slowly decline. Coca-Cola is changing their marketing strategies and has begun to embrace more web-based content. They revamped their website and online status with greater social media presence and one-onone target marketing. Their global recognition is strong, and will remain so as they garner a larger online audience. Lastly, Coca-Cola has struggled to maintain a good balance of investment in its bottlers. In 2010, in order to compete with Pepsi s decision to buy its bottlers to slash costs and improve efficiency, Coca-Cola bought up many of its 69 total independent bottlers, owning 80% share in total. Unfortunately, the move was disorganized and short-sighted, so they sold them back. However, Coca-Cola plans to continue improving this relationship.
Executive Summary Coca-Cola has seen steady inclines in stock over the past few decades with increasing dividends making the company a strong investor s pick that shows steady growth. However, their primary soda brands sales are declining and being substituted by healthier drink alternatives. To cope with changing consumer demands, Coca-Cola must adapt to market information in its various global sectors. Through analysis of its income statement, balance sheet, and key ratios, there is reason to believe that its investment in its bottlers has caused their income to slide making them sell their bottlers assets to gain a slightly higher income. There is certainly room for improvement in cost cutting and efficiency but this movement must be made in decisively and effectively and in due time without compromising growth. Overall, Coca-Cola is on the right track to further success in the beverage industry as long as it sufficiently adapts to the rapidly changing demands of the consumers in the future.
